This vacation is perfect for switching off - the idea of the wellness together with the Pilates is to relax your mind and body in a beautiful location. (more)Helen Wood

I loved the whole thing. The Pilates, meditation and Chi Gung tuaght by Ionos made me feel like a new woman after the week in Pelion...the sumptuous home cooking and amiable comraderie around the square table hosted by Pip and Nick...the splendid accommodation with views across the water to mountains. There is no one stand out. It was as a delight all round. (more)Steph Tchan

(The vacation was) excellent, just maybe not quite long enough! (more)Anna Bradley

It was all excellent - this is a holistic experience, the excellent food every day, the beautiful, peaceful location set in a V shaped valley with spectacular views, river to swim in, walks to be had, the retreat venue itself, the staff working there, the tipis, and last but not least, the excellent yoga and pilates tuition and massage treatments. (more)Liz Hughes

I had no expectations other than to go with the flow and listen. Andrew and Vonettq have fulfilled and are fulfilling their dream in such a manner as to share wholeheartedly with those who drop in. I arrived full of flu, wrapped up to the nines. Some called me the eskimo, with two little eyes appearing through all the head layers. (more)Caroline Yuill

A great break from a mad city life. A great combination of people and therapies to recharge...great space for yoga, great teaching. Wonderful massage and acupuncture - totally restorative. (more)Joanna Benn

Excellent...perfect in so many ways. . There is an energy that runs through the place and you feel connected every waking moment; as you find a quiet moment by one of the water pools, or take a walk with one of the dogs, attending a yoga class, enjoying a good night’s sleep. It’s a healing place like no other. (more)sophia Hannay

Memorable parts? Its hard to choose between the wonderful, insightful, top notch Iyengar yoga sessions and the beach-fun surf lessons! Tips? I think most people know exactly what they need when looking for a retreat-style vacation but for this one in particular, just be aware you'll be sharing living spaces and sticking to a veggie (delicious) diet. I was lucky to meet great people and had an amazingly sweet roommate. Local benefits? This vacation was all about sustainability! Overall... (more)Leila De Felipe

Memorable parts? I spent the first week on the Plantation, having treatments (massages), eating healthy, well cooked food, doing yoga and relaxing by the pool. In the second week I ventured out on a couple of trips to see the turtles and the elephants. The staff were warm and welcoming as were the other guests. Tips? Be prepared for the Ayurvedic diet, it is different and can take some getting used to. Be prepared to feel awful on some days, detoxing can be hard, but it is worth... (more)Jill Atkinson

Memorable parts? Going down to the river and behaving like a hippopotamus.....by this I mean wallowing in the mud. It was not only fun but made the skin feel good too. Tips? Don't worry about what stage you are at in your yoga practice. The teachers are highly skilled and can guide you regardless of your level. I was a beginner and therefore enjoyed the afternoon sessions that focused more on pair yoga. Also buy some of their honey if you can......it is simply divine. Local benefits? Yes,... (more)Janice Thomas

The excursions which were well thought out and very informative. So much we wouldn't have known if it wasn't for Benoit. Corrines cookery lesson was amazing too and very relaxed. (more)Brenda Muir

By the end of the week (helped by the glorious weather) I had laughed a lot, had some hugely interesting conversations, seen some beautiful places, learnt a lot of interesting facts, made some new friends, eaten some delicious food, tried lots of new things and completely relaxed. I practically cried when I had to leave, I'd loved it so much! (more)Ali James

Memorable parts? The spectacular location of the property, the view and the sound of the waves, Tips? Pack light, you'll be in yoga pants all day Local benefits? Absolutely Overall rating? Just amazing (more)Christina Beza

Memorable parts? So many things were memorable... We were very well looked after by our tour operator who made sure we had all the information before our arrival and until the day of our arrival with the airport transfer, and having someone physically there to greet us at Male airport to make sure we got on out last flight. After arrival Ruth from our tour operator was also on hand if we had any questions. Being driven straight to our room when we arrived very late at night after 27 hours... (more)Katarina Nielsen

Being out on the trail all day enjoying the stunning scenery of the Spanish Pyrenees and being rewarded at the end of it with a fabulous dinner prepared by our hosts and mostly grown by them too. Perfect. (more)Kate Evan-Jones

The word "WOW" was used a lot! (more)Gillian Russell

Memorable parts? Yoga after a glorious sunrise, with the lovely smell of a Jasmine plant by the window, before a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Tips? Remember you can dip in and out of any activity; we did yoga pre-breakfast, pilates pre-dinner and a range of "work out" sessions and walks in between. You can fill your time with treatments, I didn't book any and enjoyed reading by the pool and swimming in the sea. You can also have quiet time on your own or chat with the others... (more)Emily Prince

Memorable parts? The atmosphere of the house and the people, Benoit and Corinne really make this a warm and welcoming place to stay with a very special ambiance. The yoga was fantastic and set in a beautiful chapel in the village. Saint Jeannet itself is a very picturesque medieval village with a stunning backdrop of hills behind, with the snow covered Alps in the distance and views over the Cote d'Azur. Benoit is a very interesting and engaging guide and really made the day trips a fascinating... (more)Karen Rogerson

The location is so perfect I would have forgiven them if the yoga hadn’t been good, but it was excellent, especially the meditation. (more)Charmian Evans

It was all great - yoga, meditation, walks, food, people. I could not have had a better experience! (more)Ela Horoszko
